2.0
This was my first Elle Kennedy book. I wanted to try her out as she's a Canadian author and I've heard a lot about her sports romances (which I'm not super interested in).
This was a second-chance romance story, one of my favourite tropes, but overall it was pretty average. It's the second in a series ("Good Girl Complex," which I haven't read, is the first), so some of the previous characters make appearances. The MCs, Gen and Evan, are both flawed individuals, which makes sense for the plotline, but I felt that Kennedy could have done more to make them feel really fleshed out to the reader.
Despite this, I will say that there were some good steamy scenes.
Thanks to St Martin's Press for sending me an e-arc of this book on NetGalley!
